Told he’d never walk again. A year later, he’s thriving— without surgery.

When Richard lost the ability to walk, surgeons recommended two major operations, warning that even then, walking might never return.

Our research uncovered a safer path—one they never mentioned.

The result? He regained mobility and surpassed what doctors had called his “best-case scenario.”

You See What's Happening To Your Loved One

They're smart and motivated, but the healthcare system is overwhelming them.
They need someone who speaks their language and fights for their interests.

The Contradicting Doctors

They're seeing a lot of specialists who don't talk to each other. Test results get lost. No one takes responsibility.

The Mess of Medications

It's not clear which meds to keep taking or stop. Side effects are piling up. No one checks for interactions.

The Struggle Taking Steps

They know they should exercise and eat better, but they need more help. No one helps set sustainable habits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any obligation if I book the free call?

No obligation at all. We offer these consultations so you can experience how we think through your health challenges without risk. There’s no obligation to continue. You’ll leave the call with at least one actionable step you can take in the next 24 hours — guaranteed.

What if I don’t want to commit to an ongoing program?

That’s absolutely fine. The consultation stands on its own. Some people simply want clarity and a concrete next step — others decide to work with us longer-term. Either way, the decision is yours.

How is this different from a typical doctor’s appointment?

Most medical visits are rushed and narrowly focused. In this 30-minute call, we step back and look at the full picture: your parent's health history, lifestyle, and priorities. You’ll walk away with a personalized action plan, not just a prescription or referral.

Who will I be speaking with?

You’ll meet with one of our lead physicians above. We’ve guided hundreds of clients through complex medical decisions — and we bring that expertise to every consultation.

What if my situation is complicated? Will 30 minutes be enough?

Many of our clients come to us with complex histories — that’s our specialty. In 30 minutes we won’t solve everything, but we will give you clarity on the most important next step, plus a sense of how we can support you if you’d like deeper guidance.

Is this consultation or your service covered by insurance?

The consultation itself is free. Our ongoing work is not billed through insurance — that’s intentional. By staying outside the insurance system, we can serve as an independent advocate, focused only on what’s best for you. Many of our clients use insurance for procedures or tests, while we provide the strategy and coordination that insurance simply doesn’t cover.

Can I use HSA or FSA funds for this?

Yes. While we don’t bill insurance directly, many of our clients pay for memberships using HSA or FSA accounts. We’ll provide all the necessary documentation for reimbursement. We recommend confirming eligibility with your HSA/FSA provider before enrolling, as requirements can vary by plan.

Who is this service best suited for?

We work with individuals and families who want a high-touch, comprehensive health strategy across all aspects of care. Our clients often compare us to a “family office for health” — a dedicated team coordinating the whole picture. This model is designed for those ready to invest directly in their health and longevity.
